Ghana football has suffered another big blow, following the suspension of the General Secretary of the GFA, Isaac Addo and a member of the Emergency Committee of the GFA, Nanabenyin Eyison for sexual harassment

FIFA has slapped a six-month and nine-month ban suspension on Isaac Addo and Nanabeyin Eyison respectively following a case of sexual harassment.

The two officials of the Ghana Football Association were charged with attempting to harass a lady assigned to them during the balloting of the 2016 FIFA U-20 Women World Cup in Papua New Guinea.

FIFA found them guilty of the charges and instructed them to stay away from the Black Princesses when the competition kicks off.

FIFA has now copied the Ghana Football Association confirming a nine and six-month ban on Nanabenyin Eyison, the management committee chairman of the Black Princesses and Isaac Addo, the acting General Secretary of the GFA, respectively.

The week has been a difficult one for Ghana football with regards to issues with world's football governing body FIFA.

J.O. Lamptey, a Ghanaian referee was banned by FIFA for life on Monday for manipulating the outcome of the FIFA World Cup qualifying game between South Africa and Senegal in November 2016.
